The Heilbrunn Center for Graham & Dodd Investing

Stefan Rehder

When I first met Bruce, I had already been in the investment business for many years and was planning to make value investing more popular in the German-speaking world. He encouraged me, became a mentor and teacher, and has continuously supported my initiatives until today. He turned me, a former broker, into a passionate value investor and I was able to start my own asset management company a few years later. The ability to change other people’s lives in a good way, to instill confidence and to provide his students with a credible analytical framework, makes Bruce truly unique, not only in the academic world of finance. I am very grateful for all his support! So far he hasn’t allowed me to pay the restaurant bill, but I hope to surprise him one day…
